Wisdom of Pema Chödrön Summit (free, 4/7-11)

When I was young, I never needed anyone. Making myself a nun was just for fun. Those days...

Wisdom of Pema Chödrön Summit starts 4/7
When Things Fall Apart
American Tibetan-Buddhist nun Pema Chödrön has been a guiding light for millions of people around the world.

She has shown us how to appreciate life, embrace uncertainty, and find courage and compassion when things fall apart.

Her wisdom is supportive, grounding, and truly transformational. We all know how it feels to be overwhelmed by uncertainty and change. It is our deeply ingrained habit to seek solid ground, and we often find ourselves grasping for it...

Pema Chödrön’s teachings illuminate how we often go looking for peace in all the wrong places, but the key to working with life’s difficulties is learning how to let go and trust our innate goodness.

Invitation

We are delighted to invite readers to a one-of-a-kind opportunity to hear from 11 Buddhist teachers and heart friends inspired by Pema Chödrön to celebrate her example.

Explore powerful teachings to transform difficulty and live fearlessly, with an open and compassionate heart.

  • How can I move more gracefully through undeniable change?
  • How can I bring more joy into my life and into the lives of others?
As Pema Chödrön says, “From great suffering can come hatred, resentment, and despair…or from great suffering can come great openness of heart and a great sense of kinship with others.”

Shambhala survives online
